What Kinds Of Las Vegas Memorabilia To Buy

By Timothy Robinson


We are a species that loves our memories and we like to keep reminders of our past, whether by small mementos or even photo albums. We collect things that remind us of our past for we do like to relive some of our moments again and again. You may in fact be planning a trip to Las Vegas soon and want to know where to buy and what to buy in terms of Vegas memorabilia and souvenirs. Should this be the case, then do read on for some tips in this article.

Prior to any steps being made, the first thing that you should really do will be to make a checklist. This checklist will be used to include all the important points to be covered in this article, so that you can keep track of what you are doing or not. Always use a checklist if possible when deciding on alternative decisions and such.

First on your checklist are places you should avoid in buying souvenirs and memorabilia from. And there are basically two places you should avoid like the plague, and these are airport shops and hotel lobby shops. Not only are they overpriced due to their trying to recoup rental costs, but they do have at best run of the mill memorabilia and souvenirs. In other words they sell very common things at a very high price.

Do support local industries by buying local handcrafted souvenirs and memorabilia. In this way you can also help local worthy causes, since these local industries usually support one or more causes in the area. An additional advantage of buying something handcrafted is that you can be sure that what you bought is one of a kind and there is no exact replica.

Should you want something that is not handcrafted and go for something more commercial or factory made, then buy something made in the United States. This is because most if not all things are made either in Mexico or China nowadays. Thus buying something made in the United States is something of a rarity and collection worthy as well.

As Las Vegas is a gaming city, that is it is full of casinos, it will always be in vogue and expected that you get something to remind you of the casino experience, whether or not you are a player. Most of these memorabilia can come in the form of used playing cards, or even poker chips converted into keychains and even necklaces.

Vegas is also a city that is known for its concerts, musical numbers, plays and cabarets. Definitely you will also be able to get a lot of souvenirs dedicated to these shows whether it be used concert tickets, posters, show programs and many others that you can buy for your collections or just for pure nostalgia.

In addition to souvenirs from casinos and shows, you may also get quite different ones from the Las Vegas Museum of Natural History which also has an impressive Egyptian exhibit. Definitely this will be an item that is far from ordinary and should make for a good conversation if you are to get one and bring it home.
